He either uses a freeze pedal or uses his own vibrations from his amp to hold the note for that long. While I think all he's really doing is moving his bass EQ knob up and down, you can use this section to improv, slide around, make noise/feedback or anything like that. On the record he plays 8th fret A string, but live I believe he plays the low F.

The bass is super clear though so there shouldn't be any issues just feeling the time rather than counting it Bridge Pt 2 PLAY X4 Q G|-----------------------|----------------------| D|-----------------------|----------------------| A|-----------3--------3--|----------3-----3-----| F|-5---5--5-----5--5-----|-5--5--5-----5-----5--| Q G|-----------------------|-------------------------| D|-----------------------|-------------------------| A|-7---------7-----------|-7-----------7--7--7-----| F|-----5--5-----5--5--5--|----5--5--5-----5--5--0--| Q G|-----------------------|----------------------| D|-----------------------|----------------------| A|-----------5--------5--|----------5-----5-----| F|-3---3--3-----3--3-----|-3--3--3-----3-----3--| Q G|-----------------------|----------------------| D|-----------------------|----------------------| A|-----------5--------5--|----------5-----5-----| Here you can play the 4th () F|-3---3--3-----3--3-----|-3--3--3-----3-----3--| instead of the fifth if you prefer. This section is also quite open to improvisation. I definitely recommend improvising the strumming pattern and just using the tab for this part as a note guide since he doesn't really play it the same way twice. Chorus 3 H Q. Q Q Q Q E Q.
